And then there were none by Agatha Christie. A book review

And then there were none is a book written by Agatha Cristie in 1939 and published in the same year under the name of Ten Little Indians. The story is set is 1930 when ten guests are invited for a stay on Soldier Island, off the coast of England, by someone named U. N. Owen. Each of the guest bedrooms, and the dining room, contains a framed copy of a nursery rhyme, "Ten Little Soldiers," in which each of 10 soldiers dies, one by one; this rhyme turns out to be the framework for U. N. Owen's murderous plans.

 
The narrator is an unnamed omniscient individual, the point of view constantly shifting back and forth each of the ten characters, the story being related in a dark and sinister tone. And Then There Were None is an absolutely phenomenal book. Lots of suspense, mystery and action. This book will, for sure, keep you on the edge of your seat while you try to guess who the murderer is. 

I have mostly enjoyed the unexpected conclusion which added even more to the charm of this novel. Agatha Christie herself stated after finishing it that, “Not only is the plot expertly and delicately crafted, but the characters are intensely unique and curious.” The setting was mysterious, the characters’ personality was unique and very different, and the mystery itself fascinating! The constantly twisting narrative line made the best of this original story.

In 2015 And Then There Were None was voted the World's Favourite Christie in a global vote which saw fans from over 100 countries vote, being the most brilliantly plotted mystery of all time. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fast-peaced book they won’t let out of their hands until the end!
